Thank you! Your food and presentation were amazing. I regret there wasn't a larger turn out, but believe me, people loved your food and were already talking! Happy holidays and the best to you with your business!

Dear Annie Hobbs and Staff;
We just want to "Thank You All" for such a wonderful job you did on our Open House. The food was unbelievable, every item that came out of the kitchen was delicious. I don't believe that I had one "goodie" that I didn't love. And I'm sure that the items that I didn't try were just as wonderful.
The presentation plates were so beautiful, the tiered desserts were perfect, and the staff was very prompt with all of the different types of foods to choose from.
Thank you again and we look forward to this Saturday's event.
Sincerely,
Ann
Hi Annie:
I can't tell you how pleased I am with your food and service at last night's party. Everyone raved about the quality and taste of your hors d'oeuvres and how pleasant and helpful you all were. You should be getting calls off this party as many attendees have homes in the Carmel/Pebble area. I am grateful for the thorough way you cleaned up and left everything in order. You're just the best caterer I have ever used Annie.

Annie,
You're the best! We couldn't have thrown such an elegant and successful party without you!!!

Dear Annie,
Thank you so much for participating in our first year with the completely revamped Taste of the Valley on September 4, 2006! Our local grower/shippers really appreciated your support as you helped them shine. We are thrilled to report that between 500-600 people attended, and all of them raved about your food!
Wherever we went all evening, we heard people asking others if they had tried the treats at your table yet. Since we happily chowed down at your table, we know why you had such a great word of mouth!
Also, we really appreciate you taking time from your busy schedule to cook at our press conference - you helped make that event such a big success!
The Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce is working hard to make this event into an annual "don't miss event" that food critics and foodies will clamor to attend. Your continued participation will help us get there, and please let us know if you have any suggestion!
Sincerely,
Taste of the Valley Committee
Dear Annie,
I can't thank you enough for making our wedding so perfect, everyone complemented us on our catering choice, and I just couldn't be more pleased with how smooth the event went. Thank you very much, you can always use us as a reference.
Many times over, thanks so much!

Dear Annie,
There aren't enough words to describe what a fabulous job you did for us on our big day. The food was just amazing and your staff was superb! You really went above and beyond the call of duty providing me with service that blew my mind! You truly made my day special - the basket was great and the blanket is my new favorite to cuddle with! We'll do dinner soon!!!
XXOO,
Tracey Waddell
Dear Annie,
We're still feeling the glow of your wonderful meal - everyone was so impressed! This is just a thank you for all your work, service and creativity and look forward to future contact.
Gratefully,
Jean
Dear Annie,
On behalf of my two sisters and myself, I'd like to thank you for helping us throw the party of a lifetime! As we began planning our mother's birthday and retirement party, we wanted to make it extra ordinary and special to celebrate her life and wish her the best in the next chapter of her life.
Your idea of having an "East Meets West" cocktail reception worked perfectly. It allowed my mother and her guests to not only feast on your delicious food, but to mingle and talk with one another. Speaking of the food, it was truly delectable and presented beautifully. I loved how you displayed the chicken and pork lollipops in the wheat grass! It made the party fun and elegant. The kids loved the "Italian Soda Bar." They enjoyed creating their own concoctions and topping them with cherries, lemons, and limes. Overall, the guests couldn't stop complimenting us on the quality of the food and presentation.
Your staff was exceptional and professional, too. We didn't have to worry about any of the details or whether the platters were refilled. It was truly a first class party!
We would definitely recommend and hire a Taste of Elegance again for our future parties. (Although, I don't know how we'll top this event!)
Sincerely,
Nicole Tjon

Dear Annie:
First of all, we all want to thank you for such a pleasant and delightful event. Your staff was incredible! Big smiles, helpful, and extremely kind. We all loved the food, and wish we had booked you for dinner as well. We really lucked out finding you and plan to use you again and again. I personally will be having an event at my home, and will certainly call.
Holly came by to pick up the things, and I was so moved by your gift and thoughtfulness. We all chuckled.
My thanks again for everything. Our 4 doctors really enjoyed all the food, and the staff really liked you all so much.
Your card and presentation folder is so nicely done. Your business is definitely something you should be proud of. If you would like, feel free to send me some business cards. I will be sure to hand them out here.
Cheers!
